Rain City Drive, Taylor Acorn, Charlotte Sands, If Not For Me, Arrows in Action, Beauty School Dropout & Huddy – Summer School Tour – The Franklin Music Hall – Philadelphia, PA – August 10, 2025
The Idiobi Summer School Tour stopped by Philadelphia for the final show on the tour and it was not disappointing! The lineup was stacked this year, featuring seven artists and bands including Huddy, Beauty School Dropout, Arrows in Action, If Not For Me, Charlotte Sands, Taylor Acorn, and Rain City Drive. This show was the perfect celebration of summer, full of incredible alt-rock and pop punk music.
The best part about the Summer School Tour is how packed with variety it was. The crowd was excited to see each band, and each artist brought something different to the stage.
Kicking off the night was Huddy, whose setlist consisted of ”Vendetta,” “All the Things I Hate About You,” “Partycrasher,” “Fragile,” “The Eulogy of You and Me,” and “Cyanide.”
Second to take the stage was Arrows in Action, whose setlist consisted of “Feel It Again,” “Light Like You,” “Cheekbones,” “Over it,” “Head in the Clouds,” “Empty Canvas,” “All The Ways I Could Die,” and brought out Taylor Acorn for “Uncomfortably Numb.” Arrows in Action always have incredible energy on stage, and it's clear how much fun they have performing together. They each took the stage in their jumpsuits and took time in between songs to joke around and chat with the crowd as the audience kicked off the crowd surfing for the night during their set!
Up next was Beauty School Dropout. Their energy is always infectious, and this time was no different. Their setlist consisted of “Fever,” “On Your Lips,” “Sex Appeal,” “Two of Us,” “We Made Plans and God Laughed,” “A$$A$$IN,” and “Fight Mode.” Each member took control of the stage, interacting with the crowd as the audience jumped and sang along to each word.
Fourth on the lineup for the night was If Not For Me, a metalcore band from Pennsylvania. They brought the heavier set for the night, and it was incredible to watch. Their setlist consisted of “Demons,” “No Thanks to You,” “Alone,” “Say It To My Face,” “Blameless,” and “Feel Me Now.” Vocalist Patrick Glover’s clean vocals and heavy screams soared through the venue as they brought the energy up in the room even more.
The next act to perform was Charlotte Sands. I’ve been lucky enough to see Charlotte perform a number of times, and the passion behind her performance grows each time. The energy in the crowd lifted even more during Charlotte’s set, as her setlist consisted of “Tantrum,” “Bad Day,” “Pity,” “Use Me,” “Neckdeep,” “Alright,” “Spite,” “Dress (Heavy Version),” and “Hush.”
After Charlotte Sands lit up the stage, it was time for Taylor Acorn to keep the momentum going! Taylor Acorn is always a fun one to watch perform, as she uses every inch of the stage, performing with a bright smile on her face. She’s an artist who knows how to connect with her audience, and that became even more clear this night. Her setlist consisted of “Hell of a Show,” “Goodbye, Good Riddance,” “I Think I’m in Love,” “Coma,” “Final Nail” (with Charlotte Sands), “Greener,” “Reminisce,” “Burning House,” “Shapeshifting,” and “Psycho.”
Closing out the night was an incredible set by Rain City Drive. They brought the night home with a powerful performance packed with high-energy tracks that had the crowd moving from start to finish. The tracks they performed included “Lose My Composure,” “Over Me,” “Wish You the Best,” “Concrete Closure,” “Ride or Die,” “Frozen,” “Blood Runs Cold,” “Talk to a Friend,” and “Medicate Me.” Their chemistry on stage was undeniable, and you could feel how much they fed off of the energy of the crowd. Their set was the perfect way to wrap up such an unforgettable night!
The Idiobi Summer School Tour was the definition of what a summer show should be. It was packed with variety, and bands that were all beyond excited to be there. Every artist brought something different to the stage, from heavy breakdowns to heartfelt tracks, and together they created an atmosphere of high energy from start to finish. Make sure to check out each artist and keep an eye out on the Summer School Tour lineup for next year!
